Original Proof 1858 Seated Dollar

1858 $1 PR62 NGC. The 1858 Dollar is widely known and is one
of the few issues that is recognized outside of the Seated Dollar
collecting fraternity. It was believed for many years that only 80
or so pieces were produced, all proofs. However, judging from the
number of appearances at public auction over several decades and
those offered privately, Bowers revised the estimate of the number
struck sharply upward to the 250-300 range. This is an attractive,
deeply mirrored proof that is lightly toned on each side with some
mottled golden color that deepens at the peripheries. There are
numerous hairlines in the fields that serve to limit the grade.
